 Not as expected September 19, 2004

Although this book has one or two interesting projects, overall, it wasn't as wonderful as the other reviews cracked it up to be. I was unexpectedly dissapointed!
 Crafty, but not elegant September 16, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I just got this book and there are some good ideas in it (which is why I gave it three stars), but I do not find the majority of their decor to be elegant.
What's elegant about using a cookie cutter to shape your sandwich like an owl or using the plastic honey bear to make a nightlight?
If you're looking for some adult craft ideas, then this book may be worth looking into, just keep in mind that different people have varying opinions of what constitutes "elegant decor."
 Halloween is for adults again! September 1, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
As other reviewers have written, this Halloween decorating book is meant for adults with taste. So often Halloween is reduced (doubtless by the presence of chain retailers that rely for profit on the kitschy) to the garish and silly--think of those stupid "witch-flew-into-a-tree" decorations. Kasey Rogers saves the day with this book, in which you can turn pumpkins into macabre "stone" settings, set up a Goblin King with his loyal subjects, light flickering Gothic candles, and enjoy a "harvest" of skulls. My favorite, though, is definitely the extremely easy to make New England-style tombstones. And next to the elegant nature of these projects, the best part is that nothing here is prefab silliness. Halloween is for adults again!
Great Ideas that are different from the rest July 16, 2004

I really liked this book. Instead of the too cute stuff you find in so many Halloween idea books, this one has some "bones" to it!Great ideas for using life size skulls to create dramatic light fixtures, the directions are straight forward and easy to follow. I've done several of the skull candle holders and am currently working on the wax dripped candle on the stack of books. It is definitely worth the price for this great book!
 It's exactly what it says October 26, 2003

It is exactly as the title reads both"eerie and elegant" but not scary or anything I would like. I guess I was just disappointed that there was "just" elegant decorations for Halloween. Most were decorations that would be great if you had a love for old fashioned almost antique type decorating. Not a book for someone looking to "scare up" any modern ideas for decorating.
